Top 5 Flavors at New York City’s Van Leeuwen

Van Leeuwen has stolen the heart of New Yorkers and has quickly earned its spot as New York City’s ice cream shop. With 25-plus locations around the city, every New Yorker has visited a Van Leeuwen excited to try one of their many flavors in their delicious waffle cone.

With locations in the Upper West Side, lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, and more, every single neighborhood has its own little shop for the locals to try this icy sweet treat! If you’re heading out to NYC and have never been to Van Leeuwen, these are the top 5 flavors to consider when ordering!

5. Earl Grey

Earl Grey is a bit unconventional as a top ice cream flavor. But trust me on this one, the earl grey has a lot to offer. It’s flavorful and tastes just like earl grey. However, it was creamy and not bitter. The flavor is sophisticated and mature. It’s not too overbearing and has the perfect amount of sweetness.

Brown sugar cookie dough crunch is definitely the sweetest flavor on this list, so people with a sweet tooth would love this one. The brown sugar adds a deeper sweetness than most other ones. It has everything you need. Brownies for a chewy bite, candied walnuts for a sweet crunch, and cookie dough! This makes it the sweetest exciting flavor. 

3. Vegan Chocolate Brownie

Of course, you can’t mention Van Leeuwen without acknowledging its amazing vegan options for all the plant-based eaters out there. Van Leeuwen has great vegan ice cream, with my personal favorite being the chocolate brownie. This one is particularly good because it has the creamiest richest chocolate flavor that might be unexpected from a vegan batch. Nevertheless, the flavor is just as delicious as any other one made from cream. 

2. Honeycomb

Honeycomb is not only one of the most unique flavors but also one of the most delicious. The flavor is nothing you could really expect and ends up wildly surprising you. It has a nutty bite as well as a sugary one. What’s also more surprising is that it’s not actually made with honey at all yet still makes complete sense that it’s called honeycomb. You’ll understand when you try it. 

1. Praline Butter Cake

For the top selection, the best flavor is the praline butter cake. This flavor has everything you can ask for in an ice cream cone. It has the buttery bite from the cake, the nuttiness from the praline and an additional caramel-y flavor swirled in as well. It’s definitely a No. 1!
